Governor spares death row inmate

COLUMBUS -- Ohio Gov. Ted Strickland has spared the life of a death row inmate who killed his mother in a cocaine-induced rage.

Forty-four-year-old Jeffrey Hill was scheduled to be executed March 3. His death sentence was opposed by his entire family, saying they had suffered enough.

Strickland said Thursday he agrees with the Ohio Parole Board, which recommended last week that Hill not be put to death and should eventually be released from prison.
